Fluid Flow Equations For Rotordynamic Flows In Seals And Leakage Paths
نویسنده
چکیده
Fluid-induced rotordynamic forces produced by the uid in an annular seal or in the leakage passage surrounding the shroud of a pump or turbine, are known to contribute substantially to the potential excitation forces acting on the rotor. In this paper we explore some of the important features of the equations governing bulkow models of these ows. This in turn suggests methods which might be used to solve these bulkow equations in circumstances where the linearized solutions (such as those of Childs 1987, 1989) will no longer be accurate. An example of a numerical solution is then presented.

Comparative Analysis of Helically Grooved and Circumferentially Grooved Labyrinth Seal
Labyrinth seals are used in turbo-machinery for reducing the leakage of working fluid. The energy lost by the fluid passing through the gap between labyrinth seal and rotor causes the reduction in leakage rate. But the fluid in between the labyrinth seal and rotor induce various forces (radial and tangential forces). These forces can be represented by certain numbers of coefficients, such as st...
متن کاملEffect of Swirl on Rotordynamic Forces Caused by Front Shroud Pump Leakage
Unsteady forces generated by fluid flow through the impeller shroud leakage path of a centrifugal pump were investigated. The effect of leakage path inlet swirl (pump discharge swirl) on the rotordynamic forces was re-examined. It was observed that increasing the inlet swirl is destabilizing both for normal and tangential rotordynamic forces. Attempts to reduce the swirl within the leakage path...
متن کاملRotordynamic Forces from Discharge- to-Suction Leakage Flows in Centrifugal Pumps
The rotordynamic forces generated by the fluid flow through the impeller leakage path of a centrifugal pump are now well established. The present paper examines the effects of modifying the leakage path geometry by changing the front shroud, from a conical shape to a more typical curved design, and the effects of low pressure seal design on these forces. It is found that only the cross-coupled ...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics simulations for investigation of parameters affecting goaf gas distribution
It is necessary to obtain a fundamental understanding of the goaf gas flow patterns in longwall mine in order to develop optimum goaf gas drainage and spontaneous combustion (sponcom) management strategies. The best ventilation layout for a longwall underground mine should assist in goaf gas drainage and further reduce the risk of sponcom in the goaf. Further, in the longwall panel, regulators ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Swirl Brakes on the Rotordynamic Forces Generated by bischarge-to- Suction Leakage Flows in Centrifugal Pumps
Increasing interest has been given to swirl brakes as a means of reducing destabilizing rotordynamic.forces due to leakage flows in new high speed rocket turbopumps. Although swirl brakes have been used successfully in practice {such as with the Space Shuttle HPOTP), no experimental tests until now have been pegormed to demonstrate their beneficial effect over a range of leakage flow rates. The...
